Just as it hasn't put raccoons on the endangered species act list aerial disbursed birth control won't completely remove the hogs. Poisons won't either. They are just more tools for lowering the negative impact to a financially palatable level. I watched the video on the proper utilization of the hog bait. It will not be cheap to get a certified technician on site 2 times in 6 weeks then back every 1 to 5 days for 3 weeks then back every 5 days for the remainder of the baiting session. That and proper carcass handling along with keeping life stock out of that area for I believe 90 days will not be for everyone.

However, I wouldn't put it past a state to implement these types of things on WMA's or the FEDS in NF's and/or COE lands. I am not pro or con on the poison solution. I do think the vendor has put a lot of time and effort and of course money into developing the product. It's just the knee jerk reaction from the non Ag groups makes me question their reasoning and motives. In the past, it seemed the state level agriculture departments trumped the game and fish departments. They generally worked together but the Ag guys usually got their way. I guess because of food production being a bigger tax paying business. Maybe that isn't so anymore.
